Sigh
Wow, I have not written here in a long time. I probably should more often, but I know I probably won't. Let's see, whats changed since I last wrote here...(not counting posting quizzes)
I met/made friends with the following people:
Dave
Corin
Steph S
I don't really see the following people anymore:
Steph L
Elena
Sarah
Becca
Ian
Dan
Anne
Chloe
Alyssa
Corin
The following people started dating:
Kristen and Karl
Jason and Sarah
Dave and Aubree
Colin and Cristine
The following people broke up:
Matt and Steph
Kristen and Ian
Jason and Sarah
Colin and Cristine
The following notable events occurred in my life:
-Started dating Jamie
-Went on first missions trip (New Orleans)
-Went to Honduras with WGO (First time leaving the country)
-First College visits to Grace, Moody, Hope, and Calvin
-Applied, accepted, enrolled at Moody
-Turned 18
All of those things do not really capture anything, but they are a good record. I miss a lot of the people who have drifted away from our group.
I don't begrudge them, or think they made a bad decision, or anything like that, or even made a decision at all. I just miss them. I miss Ian being one of the group.
I miss Steph being the group mother, and hanging out in her basement, and her completely inexplicable sense of humor. I mean, I guess she might come home for the summer, but I dunno...She has this new boyfriend and I can't picture that not being awkward, and none of us know him, not that I think she madea bad decision, I'm just saying that we probably won't ever have that feeling again. She'll probably hang out with us this summer, unless she works all the time, but there will probably be less hanging out because everyone will have a job, and then the summer after that, who knows if the group will be together at all?
I miss Sarah, I know we were always at each other's throats, but I really miss her. I'm glad she's happy with chris and whatever people she's hanging out with, but I miss her. We actually had some really good times together.
I know I've vent my anger at the way people acted surrounding Becca's leaving before, but I don't want to talk about that. I just miss her. I miss being her friend. I miss sitting around campfires talking to her about God and life and her family. And she is more or less gone because she broke up with Ian, I understand that theres a lot more to it than that, but I've lost so many friends to break-ups, I can't help but think it'll happen with me and Steph.
I understand you can't be friends with everyone on the planet, and people have to go their own way, but my friend docket is not full, and even if it was, I would still miss them. Remember Cornerstone, and Woodhaven, and that one summer retreat, and that time fishbarn played 'barbie girl' at that goth band contest, and Becca accidentally broke the fence and I brought a tambourine because Ian asked me to and Steph hid in her Jeep because we were afraid we were going to get lynched... Probably not. Because all the people in this article won't ever read this, and the people that will, like alex and tanya and jaquii, have no idea who most of these people are.
And I know that when Elena read this she'll feel left out, again, because I mentioned Becca and not her. Or at least she would have way back when, maybe she's changed now, who knows... Anyway, Elena, I didn't leave you out, but I do remember more of Becca, because she was around more on account of dating Ian. Of course, you and I had some pretty enjoyable talks, like at Kristen's house that one time...Whenever I talk to most people, I just get the feeling they have something better they could be doing, more with some than others...Especially with people like Sean and Becca. Well with Sarah a lot, but she would always just say, 'I don't want to talk now,' or, more often, 'you're being obnoxious.' But at least I never expected her to like me back.
I never called Melanie. I dont know why, I just, never knew what to say I guess. God damn it. Why do people do shitty things to nice fucking people. I always wonder what happened to her. Well, not really. I can't imagine how you could put yourself through college and have a baby. But maybe she has a job, and she gave up the kid, and she's going to night school, and she stayed off the drugs and the cutting. Maybe things are better with her mom. Maybe not, I dunno.
Hey, remember when the group wasn't flooded with couples...Remember when there was a 'the group'.
